THE DES MOINES REGISTER: TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1915. SOCIETY WHAT AINNE RITTENHOUSE SAYS NEW YORK, June scareity of linen is predicted now, among other results of the European conflict. Not that women yet believe in these scarcities, which are causing the manufacturers to lose their sleep. They, the women, see the counters in the stores piled high with colored fabrics at about the usual prices. Black stockings are no dearer, navy blue is still a leading color and linen seems t.o be as easily procured as ever.

A thoughtful observer here and there, however, notices the number of pongee and the separate skirts of pique and corduroy suits for midsummer wear. whipcord and corduroy, both white and colored, the one piece gowns of cotton fabrics, voile, crepe and such materials, and then she begins to wonder it there is something in the linen story after all. Linen has been a popular summer fabric for many years. It is farily cool, it is firm and solid enough for frocks meant for street wear, the colors are lovely and the material is very pleasant to the touch. All these good qualities have outweighed the very bad one; its propensity to crush on the slightest provocation.

This disadvantage was not so noticeable as long as our skirts were straight and narrow, but a wrinkled full spirt is less endurable and wrinkled plaited one is impossible. The Indescrbable smartness of linen will keep it in use, all the same, if we continue to obtain a supply of it. Best Summer Material. It is the material par excellence of the one piece summer gown, smarter than a blouse and separate skirt, cooler than a jacket suit for the street. Best of all, this type of frock, for which.

linen is SO appropriate, is put on, and stays in order when it is on. the dagdays are upon us any timesaver in dress and economy of nervous wear and tear which we can make in our ordinary routine is an unmixed blessing. This is where the focks like that in the sketch prove their worth. In putting on a blouse and a skirt there is a great expenditure of energy that might be saved. The blouse comes first.

No longer as closely adjusted as it used to be in the days when we pinned it in all directions or wore a regular harness of hooks and eyes to keep it down all around, it still requires some arrangement, unless the waist line is on an elastic. Often, nowadays there is a high collar to be arranged, and sometimes a separate tie. Then comes the skirt, donned separately with a whole new series of movements, and, as this is a season of belts, there is often a girdle of some sort besides. Here are three, possibly four portions of attire, each one calling for time and attention, while the piece gown may be donned with one effort, and stays in perfect order until you take it off again. Pink Linen Shown.

In sketch the material used is pink linen. Every woman likes a pink gown in summer, and there is a shade for almost every complexion. It is an accommodating color, which blends itself now with a blue, now with a yellow, to suit every vagary of coloring and almost every age. There are several new features in this frock, which mark the season's preferences matters of detail. The set-in sleeves at the normal armhole, the half high collar of bridal party and several out of town guests were entertained at a dinner given last evening by Mr.

TO PREVENT DUPLICATION Organization of All Philanthropic Societies Into an Exchange Is Suggested. Details of a plan for the establishment of a central registration bureau for charitable and philanthropic organizations of the city are given in a letter received from the city council yesterday from Miss Thistie Davis.

"Our aim is to get at least twentyfive organizations to join together and start this bureau. If twentyfive will cooperate, an equal division of the expense will mean a tax of $34 a year, or $2.84 a month.

All to Take Part. "A committee composed of one representative from each organization will select the location of this bureau and the person to be in charge of it. "If the individual organizations should not reap great benefits from it the bureau, it is heartily urged that cooperate to make such a bureau possible, thereby materially aiding the general social condition of the city."

Pink linen with white vest and cuffs. the little white chemisette, which may be removable if one so desires it, the group of plaits in the front of the skirt instead of in the back, by which placing they will avoid the worst crushing. Belts are in high favor this year, and this gown has an original arrangement of one. It is cut all in one with the material of the right side of the waist. It then passes around the body and buttons at the left side of the group of front plaits, to hold them flatly in place.

All sorts of tricks are resorted to to keep the full front breadth of some of the present skirts flat to the figure. The belts, one around the waist and one several inches below it, are sometimes employed. Sometimes a square of soutaching or embroidery is introduced here, or two of them, one on each side. There are hip yokes of all kinds to restrain fullness. An idea for thin material is to run a casing around the sides and back, wide enough to take a folded four inch ribbon.

The casing ends on each side of the front breadth and is placed about six inches below the waist. The ribbon is run through it and tied in front, the ends hanging down. Wherever else the skirt is allowed to bulge, its propensity is restrained in this place. Gowns like the sketch are conservative in skirt width also, being about three yards around the hem. They do not forget to be practical, as that is their chief recommendation and their charm.
